In my opinion, fear is in large part the reason for apathy. I also believe that apathy enables and promotes the continuation of abuse. People who look the other way enable and promote continued abuse.

I appeal to your sense of right versus wrong. If this doesn't motivate you to do the right thing, consider karma!

I adopted a dog that had been severely neglected for many years. Many knew and observed the neglect and the very sad condition of the dog. Finally someone told me about Bertie. I adopted him for my own and gave him the best quality of life I could give until his suffering was too great. I thank that individual for the gift of Bertie.

If you see an animal who is being abused or neglected, please make that phone call, and demand results. God bless you.
